This beautiful lady has eloquent vocabulary and most beautiful explanation with hand I'm so happy to be one of subscriber for this one the best channel on the fragrances community
For spring/summer: Peony and Blush Suede is absolutely gorgeous...I am lost for words when describing my love for it. Blackberry and Bay is also incredible. I have tried many others and these are the standouts. Edit: I forgot about Wild Fig and Cassis! I didn't know I could still get it!!!!! I was so bummed when it was discontinued! For fall/winter: Velvet Rose and Oud(omg...just gorgeous...I don't like rose scents,really, but this one I can do. It is drop dead sexy and a compliment getter). Also standouts for the season: Pomegranate Noir is my first love and will always be. I never get tired of it and it is my signature scent in fall/winter. I've tried and loved: Oud and Bergamot, Gingerlily and Amber, Nutmeg and GInger(which is discontinued, I think..I can't find it anywhere and IT IS stunning, as well. I have been told over and over that I must try Myrrh and Tonka as well as Mimosa and Cardamom. Those are on my list for next fall season. I've tried the Wood Sage and Sea Salt and to me, it's nothing special. It's actually my least favorite of JM and I think that's because it's not unique in any way...not to me, at least. But I think I'm very much alone in my opinion. lol.
Thanks! I screenshot your comment so i can look at it while sniffing them in the store. You made me excited to discover these! (And you too ofcourse Josephine)
Blackberry and Bay sings in the sunshine. I love Bergamot and Oud for winter. It's beautifully cosy and reassuring. Earl Grey and Cucumber is soft and fresh too. Pomegranate Noir is excellent on cold days.
I totally agree about buying the small bottles if you collect a lot of fragrances. I’ve made the mistake of buying the big bottles in the past only to find that they start turning rancid after a couple years. The orange blossom in particular gets really nasty and it changes color. I now buy small bottles and store in the fridge.
Jo Malone is my favourite fragrance brand. “Blackberry & Bay” is my signature scent and I sometimes mix it with “Wood sage & sea salt”. It makes such a unique scent. I also love “Nectarine blossom and honey” as an easy day time fragrance and “English Oak & hazelnut” is my favourite masculine scent from the range.
Oh, my, I have just read my own thoughts!!! I associate myself with Blackberry and Bay, and the next one is sea salt😍probably I have to try your other favourite smells
Hi, I always think that blackberry and bay is so underrated and I always fear Jo Malone will discontinue it one day. I am very glad there are other people who have the same taste! Thanks for your comment, have a great day!
Wood sage and sea salt is my favourite. But if you like natural smell perfume all range of jo malone is good for me. The myrrh and tonka is amazing and lime basil and mandarin is super recognisable if you wear it often.
I wear wood sage and sea salt as my signature scent and have been stopped by men and women alike regarding what I am wearing. I've never had a scent that so many of complimented me on continuously. I will never not have this is my arsenal of scents. It's magic by the sea all the time.
Another vote for Myrrh Tonka, went to the airport shop to buy sg for a friend, then had a chat with the SA who seemed to like the same frags as me, brought this to try and it was an immediate love for the scent. Doesn't seem to last mega long, but it smells expensive, different from what most people wear, yet not cloying, a great choice for the autumn.
Blackberry & Bay is definitely my favorite one and I want to get Wood sage & sea salt this Christmas!! I am curious to try them together ✨ Lovely video, thank you!
I used this combination for a solid 1.5 year and loved every single minute of it. It’s a well-balanced combination with a hint of sweetness from the Blackberry and a touch of a more masculine side from Wood sage ❤️
Blackberry and Bay was my first Jo Malone Cologne that I bought, and I agree. This one suits winter or rainy day (I live in tropical country so we have no winter season here), I love to spray this during a rainy and cold day. It somehow makes me remember my childhood, it feels nostalgic. I love this vid so much! Thanks for making this amazing guide, it's helpful.
Great video, as always, Josephine!! I remember the first time I smelled Myrrh & Tonka, I fell head over heels with its sweet and balsamic scent! One of my favourite cozy fragrances for autumn and winter 💜
Here in Philippines during summer, Myrr and tonka smells also beautiful addictive creamy gourmand fragrance. Projection is very promising.. worth to buy JM
I'm a big sucker for White Florals! Currently I've been addicted to Jo Malone Jasmine Sambac and Marigold, Jo Malone Orange Blossom, Avon Today and Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge! Ylang-ylang is native to my country and I had an ylang-ylang tree in our backyard when I was growing up. Smells amazing every sunrise! Although my signature scent has always been Elizabeth Arden Green Tea, not a white floral, just because it's the first scent I fell in love with since 2014.
I’m only for light and refreshing perfumes/colognes. I gave away all my perfumes and converted to Joe Malone as these are colognes and not too strong (people with migraines will understand). As you described them it is refreshing and light. I am starting to venture to Byredo as I have the Poplin room spray and it’s so light. I need to try the perfumes next.
Great review but you're missing my fav - Red Roses!! Truly the best pure rose fragrance I've come across and insane longevity & projection for a Jo Malone! I also have Wood Sage & Sea Salt, and next I'm purchasing English Pear & Freesia :)
Wonderful video Josephine! I work for JML in NewYork City, and your description of the scents was very articulate and spot on! makes even me want to buy them!
I LOVE Mimosa and Cardamom and I so wish they made an intense version of it. I’m sure it would give me a lot of compliments if other people could smell it on me
I love jo Malone! I had so many of them but I feel that I have a different experience with them than you Josephine :) For me 1. Peony & Blush Suede - is for me a summer cloudy day with a very ripe peony, I don't smell any apple though 2.Wood Sage is stormy weather over the sea, I don't fill any citrus whatsoever :) 3. lime basil & mandarin - smells like toilet rim block :) sorry :) I gave it to my mum.. 4. velvet rose and oud - a girl from JM stand sprayed me with this sent before I went to my laser appointment and the girl who was giving me this treatment was constantly saying how pretty it is, couldn't get enough - it is a very Christmasy sent 5. English Pear - is the most beautiful every-day sent - reminds me of late summer and early fall 6.Myrrah and Tonka is my signature winter scent - it gives that disturbing vibe of darkness and church - I would add one sweet note to it - it would be perfection - ideal to mix with honeysuckle which is too sweet on its own I would also add Pomegranate Noir which was created to impersonate a woman wearing a red dress
I love your poetic description of Myrrh & Tonka "disturbing vibe of darkness and church". I agree, but couldn't have put it so eloquently. I adore this fragrance for winter.
I love the Blackberry & Bay perfume. Interestingly enough, though, I don't get those notes. To me, it smells like a ripe, juicy, naturally sweet plum. I love to wear it year-round. Pomegranate Noir and Jasmin Sambac & Marigold are also lovely. My only gripe is that the scents do not last long.
You are SOOO much more informative than the actual Jo Malone salespeople! Some of them are downright rude and super snooty. It's just fragrance, not a fancy watch lol!
I realize this is a couple years old but what a well done video on the Jo Malone line. I really like that you opened emphasizing and reminding people that JM are ‘Colognes’. I think that this is often forgotten and there’s a ‘whine’ about longevity, but they are colognes and many are beautifully built and blended around delicate notes. I had never paid a lot of attention to the line but as of lately became interested and late as I am (I’m thinking about 8 years) I sniffed Wood Sage & Sea Salt … and I completely fell in love with the fresh and clean of the scent, I just ordered a bottle and came looking to see if my J had done a review on the line and here we are. So a BIG Thank You to you for posting such a thorough and thoughtful review of the line! 💞
I just bought Myrrh & Tonka, which honestly at 500 Malaysian Ringgit is the most expensive perfume I've ever bought hahaha, but it's definitely such a good fragrance. I love the gourmand sweet scent.
I like the creative process in your videos with "they are really good at FLORAL scents" and you put in a roses top, which by the way looks beautiful on you
As a fellow fragrance lover, I found this super informative and helpful, Josephine. I am new to Jo Malone, and I definitely learned a lot more about JM scents through your video than I perhaps would have discovered on my own. (I took notes!) //// The 30 ml tip is great, and you are one of the few to say it. I usually go for 50 ml when I really like the scent + can afford to splurge at a given time. But yes, 30 ml is good coz you can have a few to experiment with at a time. Ooh, and Myrrh and Tonka is incidentally my first JM scent! It was a blind buy that happened during my very first visit to the store. 💜 It is one of my favourites. They gave me a sample of English Oak and Hazelnut to pair with it which I really like too. //// Eager to try a couple of the others you mentioned in this video. Thank you so much for your reviews! Your passion for perfumery is very exciting and inspiring, and I am a fan!!!! Fragrance talk is dreamy! ✨✨✨✨
I just found this video by chance because I bought Jo Malone for a non offensive summer scent. What beautiful description and evoking a feeling for each fragrance outstanding! Well done ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤍
The thing is, is it wise to spend a considerable amount of money for a cologne? If it's not going to last long enough on you, should you pick a cologne just because it smells great? Having said that, Jo Malone definitely has some amazing products.
Since almost all of them have only one or two major scents you can create your own signature scent by mixing 2 or more Jo Malone colognes together (layer them).
I have English Oak & Hazelnut and Wisteria & Lavender. Love the woody oldie smell of the EO&H cologne. Mixing it with W&L makes me feel as if I were in a beautifully scented garden.
Yes, I just picked-up English Oak & Hazelnut b/c it almost seemed like it was made for me! Usually, I don’t purchase a fragrance that quickly but it’s PERFECT if you love woody, nutty &/or earthy-leaning scents & I definitely do!👍😊 BTW, the combination you mentioned sounds amazing!
Thanks for this. I initially watched weeks ago then came back today and I’m going to order today. Really appreciate your reviews. I received my jo Malone collection today. I wanted to be able to try them and decide if I wanted a larger amount. I’m in heaven.
Another outstanding house review. I love how you present and describe fragrances. You picked some really good ones! My husband loves the Wood Sage and Sea Salt (and I love to borrow it!) and for more “special” occasions, Oud and Bergamot (which is the heaviest fragrance he likes to wear). Velvet Rose and Oud makes me feel so confident and powerful. 🌹
I love your "House" buying guides! I've been getting into the frag game over the last year or so, and Jo Malone seems to be a very polarizing house. This helps a ton! I've been wanting to pull the trigger forever on Myrrh and Tonka, and you just convinced me to at least get a decant. Great content as always!
Hey Matt, pull the trigger man. I'm a 42 yr old guy and have 16 different Jo Malone fragrances. Out of the ones I own, Myrrh and Tonka and BlackBerry and Bay are my favorites. I seriously doubt you'll be disappointed in Myrrh and Tonka. It's an Intoxicating , rich, warm scent.
I bought myrrh and tonka for my husband. Your description is right on. It’s an excellent fragrance for those that want to venture into deeper, warmer fragrances.
Love your review❤️. Just received my JM Blackberry & Bay today and i love it so much! Smell so unique (Keep on smelling my wrist whole day 🥰). Think I'm not going to change my perfume anytime soon.
Hi beauty! I found your channel today and I fell in love with your videos from the very first impression. The way you talk about the scents and the fragrance is so comfortable. You don’t try to show that you have plenty of knowledge about the fragrance but what makes your videos attractive is about your real feelings, comments for each scent and your voice is also a soft weapon. I believe your channel will reach out more audiences soon. Keep going, girls!!!
Thank you for your great effort. Jo Malone's prices are high considering their longevities but I think ingredients are so natural and their smells are so good. And some other brands have more expensive summer scents, also have short longevities. If you don't mind, I want to say that there's one missing beautiful unisex JM: Pomegranate Noir. See you soon.
Thanks a lot for this video, I discovered your Chanel lately. My favourite is Amber ginger lily.. it's amazing for winter, cousy and last relatively long. But will definitely try out a couple of your recommendation. :)
I only own one scent and it’s blue agave and cacao 😍my friend recommended it and sounds like she has excellent taste😉👌 what else would you say I could get as my second fragrance which will resemble the feel of blue agave and cacao and not clash with the vibe?
Wood Sage and Sea Salt is my favorite. The only problem with this is I want it to last me all day and well as we know it does NOT. I have gone through a 30 ml bottle in a month! a MONTH! 😮. I bought the 100 ml bottle and am waiting for it to arrive ❤❤❤❤
i really love 1. lime basil & mandarin 2. basil & neroli 3. wood sage & sea salt basically i prefer unisex perfume over female perfume which has citrus, fresh, and aromatic notes. but for wood sage & sea salt, idk.. maybe the uniqueness makes me fall in love with it. ❤️
bought english pear and freesia because these are two of my favorite scents....alas...all I could smell was rose...which I dont like....luckily my daughter loved it. gift!
As far as the concentration levels go, the Jo Malone rep at the mall who was working the counter told me that the British wanted to separate themselves from the French regarding the labels: If their bottle says Cologne it's the equivalent to that of an EDT; Cologne Intense are supposed to be like an EDP; and the bottles that say Absolu are the "parfum" concentrations.
This was such a great REVIEW VIDEO!!!! GIRL I was super hooked on the description of all the fragrances!! I LOVE perfumes and of course I love perfumes review videos, I am so glad that I found your Channel. I was looking for a woman's review on the Vetiver and Golden Vanilla from Jo Malone. Hopefully you can include it in one of your future videos. Love love love this video!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I LOVEEEE vetiver and golden vanilla!!! It’s such a nice vanilla. A tad bit masculine in the best way possible. I’ve gotten lots of compliments from men and women. I
I haven’t tried the whole intense line, hard to come by the samples. But my favourite is Orris & Sandalwood. Of the regular ones, I like both Oaks - Redcurrant and Hazelnut. Surprisingly those last a while. Great video as always. 🖤
I think I’m gonna try english pear and freesia and myhrr and tonka. English pear is a safe scent I think since everybody will like it. I’m a vanilla person I think myhrr and tonka is for me. Thank you for this guide. Please keep doing perfume reviews!
Amazing review! They were so detailed I could really imagine how every cologne would smell on my skin just from your explanation. I had English pear & freesia, and peony blush & suede. Both were amazing and I liked them. And I’d love to try the other scents too.
The way you described each Scent. Jo malone owe you money 🤣🤣🤣 Just got the nashi blossom from them. And its smells really good.... can't wait to try the other one❤
maybe in the the U.S the travel size is affordable; Here in Toronto the price for the 30 ml is $110 -$115after taxes. However the wood sage and sea salt is my absolute favourite!
The best one (in my opinion) of the brand is English Pear & Freesia, but since they are colognes and don't last in my skin I think they are not worth my money.
Love this vid review. Well packaged in under 20minutes. Very educational too.. Post watching, it triggers me to drop by a store ASAP, to go try out the few recommended colognes. Truly an awesome review. Well executed, Josephine. Looking forward to more vids. Subscribed! 😀 Jo Malone should engage Josephine for more collaboration, or either awarding royalties for promoting their brand so elegantly 🤣
Ohh thank you so much for the kind words. I really like doing these type of videos but not going to lie, they take time to prepare! Hopefully it has helped guide you a little! Thanks again for watching and have a wonderful evening :)
Josephine, you are wonderful and I love your videos - especially videos like this, where you do a guide to a specific fragrance house. I've been wondering for awhile now - what is your nationality? Your French pronunciation is impeccable so I wondered if you're French? But your English is perfect too, so maybe Canadian? (At 7:22 when you said "pollen", I thought you were saying "Poland" ha, so I assume you aren't American.) Cheers either way, and I've subscribed - thanks for the explanations and keep up the great content!
Hi what would you recommend for a teenager. I already have wood sage from the brand. I prefer a woody and fresh perfume instead of floral and fruity perfume.
Wonderful buying guide Josephine 💯. I only own three ( Mimosa and Cardamon, Pomegranate Noir and Orange Blossoms). Although I love the brand the colognes just become skin scents too quickly. The body creams however, are exceptional and worth the money. Thanks for your comment about the body oils.
I absolutely love peony and blush suede...is velvet rose and oud similar? Do you know of any other scents similar but more potent than peony and blush suede please? x
Oud and bergamot to me is a female leaning, slightly soapy oud. Definitely toned down and synthetic but still a people pleaser. I really like it. Also myrrh and tonka is another winter time signature.
This beautiful lady has eloquent vocabulary and most beautiful explanation with hand I'm so happy to be one of subscriber for this one the best channel on the fragrances community
I'm probably the only dude who wears English Pear & Freesia and I'm okay with that. It puts my mind to rest so effortlessly.
That's awesome!
Obviously, you’re a feminine dude. Like the fuq it’s so obvious tho
I actually smelled it on a really good looking guy yesterday, and the scent didn't lessen the effect, quite the opposite😅
@@iamsofia3782 Glad to hear that Sofia 😊
That is OK, Shankar. I am a woman and sometimes love to wear a man perfume... like Amouage Dia Man ♥
You sold me on most scents from them. You should be jo Malone brand ambassador
Ahaha thank you!
For spring/summer: Peony and Blush Suede is absolutely gorgeous...I am lost for words when describing my love for it. Blackberry and Bay is also incredible. I have tried many others and these are the standouts. Edit: I forgot about Wild Fig and Cassis! I didn't know I could still get it!!!!! I was so bummed when it was discontinued!

Blackberry and Bay sings in the sunshine. I love Bergamot and Oud for winter. It's beautifully cosy and reassuring. Earl Grey and Cucumber is soft and fresh too. Pomegranate Noir is excellent on cold days.
Mimosa and cardamom has been my signature scent since 2017...love it
Vanilla and Anise also part of the archive collection. It's my favourite.

I’ve made the mistake of buying the big bottles in the past only to find that they start turning rancid after a couple years. The orange blossom in particular gets really nasty and it changes color.

Jo Malone is my favourite fragrance brand. “Blackberry & Bay” is my signature scent and I sometimes mix it with “Wood sage & sea salt”. It makes such a unique scent. I also love “Nectarine blossom and honey” as an easy day time fragrance and “English Oak & hazelnut” is my favourite masculine scent from the range.

Wood sage and sea salt is my favourite. But if you like natural smell perfume all range of jo malone is good for me. The myrrh and tonka is amazing and lime basil and mandarin is super recognisable if you wear it often.

I bought blackberry and bay and just fall in love with it......
Myrrh & tonka my favorite one. And luckly I live in country with eternal winter: Canada.
how it sounds?it is on smokiness side or woody-sultry? is it too sticky or more pleasant and smoothing ?
I’m wearing it today. In California 🤭
blackberry and bay smells fantastic, IN LOVE
It s the same vibe than Gucci Bloom aqua di fiori ?
@@colinebourdon4604i’ve had both, but tbh I don’t think it does
Blackberry and Bay was my first Jo Malone Cologne that I bought, and I agree.

Thank you Maria! Myrrh and Tonka is very special :)
Tested this today in Sephora , I cnt get over it hours later it’s still on my skin 😍 am sold
Definitely picking this up
Here in Philippines during summer, Myrr and tonka smells also beautiful addictive creamy gourmand fragrance. Projection is very promising.. worth to buy JM
I'm a big sucker for White Florals!
Currently I've been addicted to Jo Malone Jasmine Sambac and Marigold, Jo Malone Orange Blossom, Avon Today and Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge! Ylang-ylang is native to my country and I had an ylang-ylang tree in our backyard when I was growing up. Smells amazing every sunrise!
Although my signature scent has always been Elizabeth Arden Green Tea, not a white floral, just because it's the first scent I fell in love with since 2014.
Same here! I can’t believe you had an ylang ylang tree in your backyard. You’re so lucky!
Love this!! My Signature scent is mixed with Mimosa & Cardamon and English Pear & Freesia... Also my Wedding scent! :)
Myrrh & Tonka is excellent and very cosy indeed!!!
I’m only for light and refreshing perfumes/colognes. I gave away all my perfumes and converted to Joe Malone as these are colognes and not too strong (people with migraines will understand).

Great review but you're missing my fav - Red Roses!! Truly the best pure rose fragrance I've come across and insane longevity & projection for a Jo Malone!
I also have Wood Sage & Sea Salt, and next I'm purchasing English Pear & Freesia :)
Wonderful video Josephine! I work for JML in NewYork City, and your description of the scents was very articulate and spot on! makes even me want to buy them!
That's awesome! I'm so happy to hear you like my descriptions :)
I LOVE Mimosa and Cardamom and I so wish they made an intense version of it. I’m sure it would give me a lot of compliments if other people could smell it on me
Me too
Since finding your channel, I find blind buying so much easier. It's impossible to get to a tester counter during Covid.
I'm so pleased to hear it :)
I love jo Malone! I had so many of them but I feel that I have a different experience with them than you Josephine :) For me
1. Peony & Blush Suede - is for me a summer cloudy day with a very ripe peony, I don't smell any apple though
2.Wood Sage is stormy weather over the sea, I don't fill any citrus whatsoever :)
3. lime basil & mandarin - smells like toilet rim block :) sorry :) I gave it to my mum..
4. velvet rose and oud - a girl from JM stand sprayed me with this sent before I went to my laser appointment and the girl who was giving me this treatment was constantly saying how pretty it is, couldn't get enough - it is a very Christmasy sent
5. English Pear - is the most beautiful every-day sent - reminds me of late summer and early fall
6.Myrrah and Tonka is my signature winter scent - it gives that disturbing vibe of darkness and church - I would add one sweet note to it - it would be perfection - ideal to mix with honeysuckle which is too sweet on its own

Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt literally makes me happy and lead positive thinking. It smells so amazing and makes relax too.
Jasmine Sambc is gorgeous with Sage wood sea salt. Thanks. You made me love Jo Malone again
So happy to hear it Marlene 🥰

Thank you for categorizing the fragrances especially for a beginner like me. It really helps me.
I love wood sage and sea salt! I pair it with the Mimosa🥰
Thank you for your review. I’m obsessed with Jo Malone cologne now. You make me want to get all the collections now 😃
I have Nectarine, Blackberry, Earl Grey and Basil Neroli. Basil & Neroli is my ultimate favorite. Scent is similar to Tom Ford Neroli Portofino.

Oh Mohd, is English Oak & Hazelnut still available to buy?
@@Sbannmarie I think English Oak and Hazelnut is a part of their normal colognes, so it's available I guess, depending on your location.
English oak and Hazelnuts +1 vote... I love it since 4yrs...(Ofc I have other parfumes but its for me a jolly joker)
I also have Fig and White Lotus. So underrated. I hardly ever hear anyone talking about it.
Thanks for this. I initially watched weeks ago then came back today and I’m going to order today. Really appreciate your reviews. I received my jo Malone collection today. I wanted to be able to try them and decide if I wanted a larger amount. I’m in heaven.
Most beautiful and elegant review yet. Thank you, I'm going for the peony and blush..
Wood sage and sea salt is my all time favorite!.
a bit expensive but I love the smells of jo malone especially English pear freesia.i had bad allergies and seems only jo malone i can use .
Thats the perfume of one of twice members
I bought Velvet Rose and Oud today, beautiful.
Isn't it just gorgeous?!?!?!?! I absolutely love it!
Another outstanding house review. I love how you present and describe fragrances. You picked some really good ones! My husband loves the Wood Sage and Sea Salt (and I love to borrow it!) and for more “special” occasions, Oud and Bergamot (which is the heaviest fragrance he likes to wear). Velvet Rose and Oud makes me feel so confident and powerful. 🌹
My two fave scent velvet rose & oud and myrrh & tonka. And yes myrrh and tonka last longer than other scent. Love it so much.
you are very talented actually ..i think your description is very persuasive that i want them all 😍
I love your "House" buying guides! I've been getting into the frag game over the last year or so, and Jo Malone seems to be a very polarizing house. This helps a ton! I've been wanting to pull the trigger forever on Myrrh and Tonka, and you just convinced me to at least get a decant. Great content as always!
Thanks a lot Matt. I do love putting these buying guides together :) Would love to hear your thoughts on Myrrh & Tonka!
Hey Matt, pull the trigger man. I'm a 42 yr old guy and have 16 different Jo Malone fragrances. Out of the ones I own, Myrrh and Tonka and BlackBerry and Bay are my favorites. I seriously doubt you'll be disappointed in Myrrh and Tonka. It's an Intoxicating , rich, warm scent.
@@Circulation29 Awesome, that's all I needed to hear! And the second on my list is Blackberry and Bay! I'll check them out, thanks for the advice!
my faves are wild bluebell and wood sage & sea salt 😍
Jo malones myrrh & tonka cologne intense is my best perfume ever ! I have 2 bottles ❤️
I bought myrrh and tonka for my husband. Your description is right on. It’s an excellent fragrance for those that want to venture into deeper, warmer fragrances.
Myrrh and Tonka is AMAZING!!!
Love your review❤️.
Just received my JM Blackberry & Bay today and i love it so much! Smell so unique (Keep on smelling my wrist whole day 🥰).
Think I'm not going to change my perfume anytime soon.
Hi beauty! I found your channel today and I fell in love with your videos from the very first impression. The way you talk about the scents and the fragrance is so comfortable. You don’t try to show that you have plenty of knowledge about the fragrance but what makes your videos attractive is about your real feelings, comments for each scent and your voice is also a soft weapon. I believe your channel will reach out more audiences soon. Keep going, girls!!!
Thank you for the kind words, that’s so nice of you to say 🥰
Thank you for your great effort. Jo Malone's prices are high considering their longevities but I think ingredients are so natural and their smells are so good. And some other brands have more expensive summer scents, also have short longevities. If you don't mind, I want to say that there's one missing beautiful unisex JM: Pomegranate Noir. See you soon.
Ahh yes pomegranate noir... I may get hate for this but, but this one really isn't my fav. Never been a fan...
Agree I love this one too
Thanks a lot for this video, I discovered your Chanel lately.
My favourite is Amber ginger lily.. it's amazing for winter, cousy and last relatively long.
But will definitely try out a couple of your recommendation.
:)
I love the Honeysuckle & Davana. This smells great after it settles
me too
I have it too!
❤️ it
It's my signature scent 🤣🤣🤣!
I think my skin loooooves it.
i have it too!🥰
Your descriptions are fantastic! I'm thinking of getting Wood Sage and Sea Salt as a signature scent, after smelling it in store yesterday :)
I only own one scent and it’s blue agave and cacao 😍my friend recommended it and sounds like she has excellent taste😉👌 what else would you say I could get as my second fragrance which will resemble the feel of blue agave and cacao and not clash with the vibe?
Ahhh, English Pear and Freesia bath oil!!! Love it! Also the Rose bath oil is beautiful!
I would love to hear your review on the three perfumes of Jo Malone Collection "Absolu"!
Wood Sage and Sea Salt is my favorite. The only problem with this is I want it to last me all day and well as we know it does NOT. I have gone through a 30 ml bottle in a month! a MONTH! 😮. I bought the 100 ml bottle and am waiting for it to arrive ❤❤❤❤
i really love
1. lime basil & mandarin
2. basil & neroli
3. wood sage & sea salt
basically i prefer unisex perfume over female perfume which has citrus, fresh, and aromatic notes. but for wood sage & sea salt, idk.. maybe the uniqueness makes me fall in love with it. ❤️
Just purchased the English Pear and Fresia perfume, thank you for your reviews
bought english pear and freesia because these are two of my favorite scents....alas...all I could smell was rose...which I dont like....luckily my daughter loved it. gift!
Thank you for putting this altogether. Really appreciate it . Cheers!
Thank you for watching!
As far as the concentration levels go, the Jo Malone rep at the mall who was working the counter told me that the British wanted to separate themselves from the French regarding the labels: If their bottle says Cologne it's the equivalent to that of an EDT; Cologne Intense are supposed to be like an EDP; and the bottles that say Absolu are the "parfum" concentrations.
I see this video is 3 years old, but what do you think about Orange Blossom?
I bought JM mimosa and cardamom after I watched your videos. Thank you! I really love the scents.. ❤️❤️❤️
I love Jo Malone fragrances as layering agents. I mix 154 and Derek Lam 10 Crosby Blackout, for me that's just the right balance of sharp and sensual.
Hello there, great videos ! Could u pls suggest me a fragrance to layer with Myrrh &Tonka so as to get sth less sweet?? thanks!!
I really love the way u describe English pear and freesia 🍐💗It's my favourite one💗
I like wood sage and sea salt but sometimes even i sprayed sooo much no smell at all
This was such a great REVIEW VIDEO!!!! GIRL I was super hooked on the description of all the fragrances!! I LOVE perfumes and of course I love perfumes review videos, I am so glad that I found your Channel. I was looking for a woman's review on the Vetiver and Golden Vanilla from Jo Malone. Hopefully you can include it in one of your future videos. Love love love this video!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I LOVEEEE vetiver and golden vanilla!!! It’s such a nice vanilla. A tad bit masculine in the best way possible. I’ve gotten lots of compliments from men and women. I
@@thatchicnextdoor0970 I will definitely try it. Thank you!🌼🌼😔
I haven’t tried the whole intense line, hard to come by the samples. But my favourite is Orris & Sandalwood. Of the regular ones, I like both Oaks - Redcurrant and Hazelnut. Surprisingly those last a while. Great video as always. 🖤
Interesting, those fragrances are quite daring scents. I like it!
I think I’m gonna try english pear and freesia and myhrr and tonka. English pear is a safe scent I think since everybody will like it. I’m a vanilla person I think myhrr and tonka is for me. Thank you for this guide. Please keep doing perfume reviews!
Thats amazing after listening to Jus clarifications on all of the perfumes scents.🎉
Amazing review! They were so detailed I could really imagine how every cologne would smell on my skin just from your explanation. I had English pear & freesia, and peony blush & suede. Both were amazing and I liked them. And I’d love to try the other scents too.
Glad you liked it 🥰
Wood sage and sea salt , and wild bluebell are super nice for me
Loved your review. One of the best I've come across. Great job!!!
Very very helpful video! Thank you for taking the time to articulately explain the scents. excellent video!
The way you described each Scent. Jo malone owe you money 🤣🤣🤣 Just got the nashi blossom from them. And its smells really good.... can't wait to try the other one❤
maybe in the the U.S the travel size is affordable; Here in Toronto the price for the 30 ml is $110 -$115after taxes. However the wood sage and sea salt is my absolute favourite!
The best one (in my opinion) of the brand is English Pear & Freesia, but since they are colognes and don't last in my skin I think they are not worth my money.
My all time favorite is Basil and Neroli, it reminds me of a crisp, clean day at the beach.
Love this vid review. Well packaged in under 20minutes. Very educational too.. Post watching, it triggers me to drop by a store ASAP, to go try out the few recommended colognes. Truly an awesome review. Well executed, Josephine. Looking forward to more vids. Subscribed! 😀 Jo Malone should engage Josephine for more collaboration, or either awarding royalties for promoting their brand so elegantly 🤣
Ohh thank you so much for the kind words. I really like doing these type of videos but not going to lie, they take time to prepare! Hopefully it has helped guide you a little! Thanks again for watching and have a wonderful evening :)
Josephine, you are wonderful and I love your videos - especially videos like this, where you do a guide to a specific fragrance house. I've been wondering for awhile now - what is your nationality? Your French pronunciation is impeccable so I wondered if you're French? But your English is perfect too, so maybe Canadian? (At 7:22 when you said "pollen", I thought you were saying "Poland" ha, so I assume you aren't American.) Cheers either way, and I've subscribed - thanks for the explanations and keep up the great content!
Hi what would you recommend for a teenager. I already have wood sage from the brand. I prefer a woody and fresh perfume instead of floral and fruity perfume.
Wonderful buying guide Josephine 💯. I only own three ( Mimosa and Cardamon, Pomegranate Noir and Orange Blossoms). Although I love the brand the colognes just become skin scents too quickly. The body creams however, are exceptional and worth the money. Thanks for your comment about the body oils.
I can testify for their body creams as well. You're right, they are amazing!
Ohh yes the body creams are splendid. And their home scents. And their bath oils... urgh so much choice!
English pear and freesia is the one I fell hard for. I bought the hair mist 😍😍😍
You’re so sweet with this video, thank you! 😊
What jo malone fragrance applicable for tropical country?
The first video of you i watched and I’m so impressed to the point I left a comment to let you know. I subscribed instantly! Thanks for the review!
How long does peony and blush suede last ? Whole day? Does it linger on your clothes for days after?
I absolutely love peony and blush suede...is velvet rose and oud similar? Do you know of any other scents similar but more potent than peony and blush suede please? x
Oud and bergamot to me is a female leaning, slightly soapy oud. Definitely toned down and synthetic but still a people pleaser. I really like it. Also myrrh and tonka is another winter time signature.
She describe the perfumes so well. ❤️
